If you’re a fan of the strange and grotesque ala Argento, Lynch, Cronenberg and Cunningham or even Sir Francis Bacon, you’ll get a jolt or two from this music video for Italian electro-duo Optogram from Milan director Rino Stefano Tagliafierro.

Rino Stefano Tagliafierro: “The creative challenge was that each scene had to have a appealing deformation or an interesting monster and each scene was intended as a work or a photograph that could operate even when taken singularly.

“I organized a simple day of shooting video and photos in the studio where I prepared the source material. Later I worked entirely in After Effects, mixing mainly the Liquify effect with the Puppet tool, bringing to life monsters that I had in my mind.”

The festival kicks off next month

There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.

Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.

The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.

The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from February 9 to February 20 and is organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.

The festival brings a kaleidoscope of creative lights and colour to Sharjah’s architecture. Diverse locations are featured during the annual show, with light and sound spectacles that transform them. (Have your camera ready.) The festival uses energy-saving lighting technology and all the lights and projectors used have passed certification for environmental compliance.

The Sharjah Light Festival also showcases the emirate’s rich heritage and historical monuments. Local and international artists, musicians and light technicians collaborate to showcase the emirate’s achievements.
